Women's Soccer Announces Fall 2022 Schedule - Seton Hall University Athletics
The Josh Osit Era of Seton Hall women's soccer will kick off at Owen T. Carroll Field against La Salle on August 18 at 6 p.m.

South Orange, N.J. — The Josh Osit Era of Seton Hall women's soccer will kick off at Owen T. Carroll Field against La Salle on August 18 at 6 p.m. The home opener is one contest in an 18-game schedule for the Pirates that features 10 home fixtures, including two against BIG EAST foes that were NCAA Tournament teams last season.
The Pirates open the 2022 season with four of their first five matches on campus. They'll look to duplicate their early-season success from last year when The Hall won its first three games of the 2021 campaign, giving it their first 3-0 start since 2012. August 25 will see a soccer doubleheader at Owen T. Carroll Field as the women face NJIT at 4 p.m. followed by the men's team's match against Rider at 6:56 p.m.
After a 6 p.m. contest against Columbia at Owen T Carroll Field on Sept. 16 and an idle weekend, the Pirates will open conference play with back-to-back home games against Providence on Sept. 22 and Villanova on Sept. 25. Seton Hall defeated Villanova on the road last season, 2-1. Five of the Pirates' final eight matches will be away from South Orange.
The top six teams in the conference standings based on points (three for a conference win, one for a draw) earn invites to the BIG EAST Championship, with the top two teams receiving byes directly into the semifinals.
Seton Hall, which has seen steady improvement the last three seasons, returns multiple key pieces from last season's squad that registered the program's most wins since 2012.
Entering his first year as the head coach at Seton Hall, Osit has had success as a recruiter and tactician within Northeast Division I soccer for a decade. He helped turn Columbia into a consistent winner over seven seasons — producing 35 All-Ivy League selections, six United Soccer Coaches All-Region honorees, and the 2017 Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year — and prior to joining the Lions, he was on staff for two NCAA Tournament teams at Rutgers.
